The Devil's Embrace   Doors of Truth (2)
“Are you me?” I ask. She tilts and then, smiles. She does look like me. But, she has more confident and somehow different.“I’m you.” She says. “But, I’m the truth.” I raise an eyebrow.“You’re the truth?” I ask as she’s saying something really weird. She giggles.“And you’re the lie.” She says.“You mean I’m a liar?” I ask. She’s terribly rude. If only she doesn’t have the same face as mine, I might have thrown a punch on her face.“No. Lies create you.” She says. Now, she gets me confused.“What is that supposed to mean?” I ask. She chuckles.“All you need to do now is wake up.” She says. I raise my eyebrows.“I’m awake.” I say. She shakes her head.“No, you’re not. Wake up.” She says as she walks closer to me. Then, she grasps my shoulders tightly

I feel really dizzy. My head feels like it’s going to burst out any second. I try to move my body but, it’s aching all over. I feel like my bones are cracking. (Sigh) I’m getting tired. Hmm? Cold?I try to feel my hand. My palm is touching something cold. Something is cooling my cheek down. I slowly open my eyes. A sharp pain comes into my head right when I try to move my eyelids. But, I don’t back down. I force them open. I have it hard just to open my eyes. Pity me.When my eyelids are fully opened, I move my eyes and blink deliberately trying to clear my vision. It’s blurry but, I can see a corridor and a couple of doors. I shut my eyes harshly and then, I open it again. A little by a little, my vision is clearing. I let out a long breath. A gas comes out from my mouth.I slowly get up. I sustain my body with both of my hands on the floor. Where am I? I think to myself. One thing for sure, it’s freezing in here and I was ly

Have you ever coincidentally fallen asleep on your desk? I bet you have. And that is not sexy. I feel a sharp pain at the back of my neck down to my spine. I want to move from my position but, I don’t think I can do it. It hurts when I try to move. I think the air conditioner has been cooling my skin until I catch a cold. This is absolutely lame.I shouldn’t have fallen asleep on my desk. Well to be exact, I shouldn’t have written my journal at night. What I mean by night is my sleeping time. If I want to write it, the least I could do is to write it while chilling on my bed.So, when my eyes close by themselves, I have already on my bed. Anyway, how do I move? That’s the most urgent question right now.I feel like an idiot somehow. My eyes are wide opened and I’m totally awake. But, here I am not moving just spacing out at my window. Well, I could be considered pondering but, I think Aubrey can see through me. So, I better try to f

Fire is raging in the valley at the both sides of the stone pathway. Voices of hatred and regrets are floating in the air. The cries from the deaths are echoing. The heat will be unbearable if Alexis was a human. Luckily, she’s not.She walks down the path like nothing is happening in the valley. She hums as she strolls with her hands on her back. She’s feeling very happy right now. So, the fusses of the deaths don’t bother her that much as before.Gradually, her steps become lighter and lighter. She bounces towards the gateway. Yes, the burning fire under the arch up ahead is the entrance towards hell. Alexis passes through the gateway and walks slowly to the edge of the stone path.She spreads out her black wings and flies into the air. She continues to hum as she looks at the scenery under her. It’s an endless pit with fire burning. There are some cliffs that she can stop at however, she keeps going.There’s really nothing to enjo

I wake up in shock. Cold sweats stream down to my body. I exhale a deep breath and wipe them off. I’m not quite sure what I was dreaming of to give me a shock. I look to the left. Aubrey is sleeping quietly while hugging a bolster. I sigh. It’s useless to wake her when she’s asleep.I get down from my bed and reach for the curtain. I take a peak from the window. The night has fallen and it’s raining quite heavy. It was sunny in the morning. I guess it’s still rain in the summer. I close back the curtain and make my way to the stairs.Although there’s the sound of television, the lights are off. I bet dad falls asleep on the couch while watching the TV. I walk slowly towards the couch. Yep, he’s there. I pick up the remote and turn the TV off. It becomes quiet. Only the sound of the ticking is heard. I look up at the clock. It’s pointing at ten.Crap. I must’ve fallen asleep in the afternoon to be able to wake up at

When the arrow disappeared between the dark clouds, the sky gurgles. Cain is startled by the sound of it. Altarria smiles when she sees her power is working. Bright circles with ancient symbols carved around it emerge on the sky. They are scattered to every corner of the sky. The downpour suddenly stops and everything becomes quiet.It makes Cain confused. He tries to focus his hearing but, nothing comes to his ear. Cain raises an eyebrow. Suddenly, loud sounds of thunders ring throughout the Judgment Road. Dozens of lightning strikes down from the circle. The Judgment Road is roamed by lightning. Rainstorm breaks off and all the lightning is striking down continuously.They destroy the buildings, the roads, and the ruins. They wipe off everything. Altarria smiles gloriously as there’s no way Cain could survive from this lightning. One strike and it’ll end his life. “Die!” She exclaims. She laughs happily. After a while, the lightning stops ho

The ruins are hindering his vision but, he’s sure that someone is walking towards him. He walks towards the wall and leans on it as he waits for that soul. He closes his eyes.‘Where’s everybody? This place is so terrifying.’A guy, he thinks to himself. Not his favorite subject for hunting but, it’ll do him fine right now. He’s kind of in a bad mood after reminiscing his past. So, anyone is fine. The footsteps are getting closer and a sly smile is carved on his face. He opens his eyes when he feels the soul is nearby. He looks at his diagonal and a young boy is walking with his eyes welled up with tears. Cain stares at the boy. He could see through the boy’s heart. He died without knowing anything. That makes him unwillingly died. He’s going to dwell here for the rest his life either way, he thinks to himself.Cain walks silently towards that boy and attacks him from behind. He pierces through his life source from behin

Cain ponders at the top of the building where he used to sit at. Wondering and staring at the Judgment Road seems to be his habit. Not a hobby. And definitely not in his top ten favorites to do list. He’s been looking down at the same view for over a hundred years and has been walking at the same world since he turned eight.He still remembered the first time his mom visited him, his real mom. She was beautiful and kind. The kindest woman he’s ever known. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he felt something strong like a bond. He was scared because her appearance wasn’t of a human.But, her smile sent warmth throughout his body. She didn’t force him to get close to her but instead, she let him came to her on his own accord. She came to see him every time Cain called out to her. They would spend time together until Cain fell asleep. Of course, he kept it a secret from his step-mother. It took a while but, Cain realized that she was his mom. H

I mean she has dragged me to watch it with her like a thousand times I think since I first knew her. Twilight is a great movie and don’t even mention the novels. I have all the series. Stephanie Meyer did a great job. She’s an incredible author. I like her works.So, yeah I like the movie. But, to watch it until you know all the lines. It’s pretty crazy. Well, Aubrey doesn’t memorize the lines but I do. It’s the result after watching it like a thousand times.Aubrey skips the beginning where an animal is being chased. I think it’s a bambi. Sorry, if I’m wrong. Before Bella even speaks up, I utter her line in my head. So, I can’t bring myself to regret the decision to leave home. I would miss Phoenix. I miss the heat, I think to myself.She says the exact same line. I’m cool, huh? I glance at Aubrey. She’s watching it like this is the first time she sees the movie. I sigh. Well, let’s just enjoy the movi

Prologue
He stands in front of her as he locks his eyes on the outside world instead of the weakness behind him. The woman clenches her fists trying to contain the constant pain throbbing in her heart. She wonders, ‘Where have those wonderful days gone to?’‘When did it go wrong?’ Now, every time she tries to look at him, not even once their eyes meet. Not even once, he looks back at her. But somehow, despite his coldness, she can’t bring herself to stop loving him. The more he pulls away, the more she falls in love all over again.“Am I that despicable in your eyes?” Her voice shakes as she speaks. She heaves out a long deep breath as she studies the ground. Unexpectedly, he turns and looks at her. He never faces her when she talks. He either looks away or turns his back on her.“No,” He utters only one word. That word alone gives her a chill. She notices by looking at his shadow that he’s staring at he
